Content Warning: violence against trans and gender diverse community, sexual assault
We recognize the immense responsibility our agency and those who provide support to survivors of sexual assault and work to prevent sexual violence from occurring have in being inclusive to trans and gender diverse folks as well as standing up for this community’s fair and equitable treatment. The harmful attitudes, treatment, and policies made against the trans and gender diverse community is nothing new and while we have worked to improve services and outreach to this community, the comments made by a famous author has compelled us to dedicate this episode to discuss the issues and opportunities surrounding support for this community. You may notice Alayna and Mel struggle at parts during this discussion. As both of us are cisgender women, we know this discussion doesn't come from a place of experience. We kept the awkward struggles to acknowledge we are not experts and your education doesn't end here.
The Facebook group Alayna references is sounds like you need to be educated on transgender individuals but okay
Here are some trans/queer/gender diverse podcasts we suggest which are lead by trans/gender diverse folx:
Fantasy series with Trans on Non Binary Characters
Fantasy series with Queer characters
Still Not Asking For It is produced by Mel Gerard and hosted by Alayna Milby
